Come to find out this 92 SC300 has 150,000 miles on it totally stock $4500.00. If a guy bought it it would surely take a lot of time and money to turbo it, even if you stayed with the stock rearend for a while.

I like my sunroof but if I was building a track/drift car that would be the way to go. I guess long term, not having to deal with a sunroof leaking or breaking is a good thing.

Breakb as stated in a prev. post, says he has a non-moonroof SC4. According to intellexual.com, only the SC300 was available without moonroof. That sc4 would be a pretty rare car.

don't mean to get too off subject but i guess this is on subject


I was just curious why some people would pick the SC to turn into a track car? it's kind of a big heavy car, alot of luxury options, hard to find in 5spd... I mean i know it's capable, anything could be with some money and i'm not knocking it cause i love the cars and they look cool tearin it up on the track.

There was one here for sale for $4500 and it was disgusting. It was a real nasty green color and whoever had the car riced it out and didnt take car of it but it was a 5 spd.

I love the fact my sc is a hardtop. I've actually had another sc guy ask me how i filled it in. He did not belive me that it was an option. Then he says what color that is dawg, dat be hot. Then I told him it was a factory color (rsp) then he starts tellin me you lie dog you lie. Stupid ***, lol

Sadly the previous owner of my baby had an after market sun roof installed. I mean I like having it and all but would have much preferred it either come as a factory option or having been left alone.

Agreed on all points. I love the look of it, I love how it feels like a big lazy-boy on wheels, and I love the fact that I'm able to borrow so many drivetrain and suspension pieces from the Supra. I can have a single turbo 2JZ and not get harassed by cops everywhere I go, or get swarmed every time I stop for gas.
